[StBernard] You better be sitting down when you read this ! it's about oil

[Westley Annis]

Here's an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information: WHY CAN'T
WE DRILL??????

 

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of
the Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask
you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does
the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more
than all the

Middle East put together." Please read below.

 

The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that 

only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a
revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this
area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme
eastern Montana ... check THIS out:

 

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's 

Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on
foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503
billion barrels.  Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a
barrel, we're looking at

a resource base worth more than $5...3 trillion.

 

"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically 

see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the
Montana Legislature's financial analyst.

 

"This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in
the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation
known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the
'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into
Canada. For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. 

Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades
ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's
massive reserves..... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels.
And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost
Americans just $16 PER BARREL!

 

That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 

years straight.  And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next
one should - because it's from 2006!

 

U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World

Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006

 

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the
largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION
barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three
and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this
motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?

 

They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our 

borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.  Here are the official
estimates:

 

- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia

 

- 18-times as much oil as Iraq

 

- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait

 

- 22-times as much oil as Iran

 

- 500-times as much oil as Yemen

 

- and it's all right here in the western United States .

 

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the

environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help 

America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small
group of people dictate our lives and our economy...WHY?

 

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more 

oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2
TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of
crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.  Don't think 'OPEC'
will drop its price - even with this find?  Think again!

 

It's all about the competitive marketplace - it has to. Think 

OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?

 

Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do 

this:

 

Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should
stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices. By doing
NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

 

 

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one 

of you sent this to every one in your address book.

 

By the way...this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!!

"A wise and frugal government ---- shall restrain men from injuring one
another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of
industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the
bread it has earned. THIS IS THE SUM OF GOOD GOVERNMENT."
